What do you teach at WollCon?
I teach saxophone (mainly) and clarinet at WollCon. I also teach flute.
What genres do you teach?
I teach a range of genres but mostly specialise in Jazz and modern music.
What is it that you love about teaching music – particularly at Wollongong Conservatorium?
What I love about music teaching is seeing the enthusiasm people have to learn the new and challenging skills that playing music offers. I grew up playing music at the conservatorium so it’s a very special place to me and I find it very rewarding to give back that experience to other people.
Please share a particular career highlight and why it’s special to you.
I’ve had many musical moments that I treasure but probably the biggest career highlight was being invited to play at yours and owls main stage in 2023. It was a magical experience to play in front of so many people.
What’s one piece of music that you’d recommend people listen to?
The most influential song on me as a musician is Dexter Gordon’s “Blue Bossa” so I would recommend that.
